Sorry, I have to disagree with you here. It's amazing the number of people to put down product A or B because they've themself had a bad experience with it.
I've seen plenty of websites generating postgresql, Oracle and SQL Server errors, yet I don't regard them as a bad product. The fact that you see errors at all on a website that identify the database doing the work behind the scenes is more an indication of improper user configuration (that sort of information should never be made available to the general public, for obvious security reasons), and I suspect that this is the case for the problem you experienced here.
FWIW, I've found that MySQL does a fine job on high volume sites, and there are widely known examples of large companies handling enormous traffic with MySQL based sites (Yahoo! is an example of one that comes to mind).
I guess the moral of what I'm saying here is that it really doesn't achieve anything starting religious wars over competing software products just for the sake of it. They all have their uses , otherwise they wouldn't still be around.
